Bassingthwaighte signs new 'Dance' deal

Natalie Bassingthwaighte has signed a new deal with Channel Ten to return as the host of So You Think You Can Dance Australia.

The former Neighbours star is believed to have signed a new one-year contract with the network under which she will host the upcoming third season of the popular reality dance series.

Meanwhile, the 34-year-old singer and actress will also appear on rival network Channel Nine in highly-anticipated drama series Underbelly: The Golden Mile and will be one of only a few stars to have ever appeared on rival networks simultaneously.

Bassingthwaighte, who is currently trying to crack the US, is also in the recording studio working on a new single to be released in Australia in the winter.
